Ad People Helping Ad People

As the economy made its turn for the worse last November, execs at Toronto agency Huxley Quayle von Bismark started receiving a mountain of resumes.
Given that they are sensitive people, an idea popped into their heads. Just One Project is the result.
According to The Globe and Mail and Ad Age, Just One Project encourages clients to put the agency on, you guessed it, “just one project.” They in turn will put a freelance team on the job.
So far over 300 unemployed ad professionals have sent their credentials to Huxley Quayle von Bismark with the hope of landing a Just One Project project.
Additionally, two national media companies in Canada have offered special deals for advertisers that assign projects to the initiative.
No word yet on which clients are stepping up to the Just One Project plate, although it’s clear they’ll benefit from positive WOM and press when they choose to do so.
